The FMR represents the needs and priorities of the site's manufacturing and support teams, sustaining critical building and utility systems while also enabling transformation through new products, technologies, and layouts. You will drive continuous improvement in facility performance and help transform our workspaces into places people want to be by finding better, more creative, and more efficient ways to support how our GM team works.

  • Manage repairs, upgrades, and testing for site life safety and security systems (fire alarm and suppression, underground fire mains, access control/badge systems, CCTV, etc.).
  • Support and share responsibility for fire protection system operation, underground repairs, and related maintenance activities with the Facilities/Security team.
  • Maintain and continually improve the facilities asset database (e.g. Maximo) for building systems and equipment.
  • Develop scope, cost estimates, and timing for facilities related projects.
  • Plan and execute projects within approved budget and schedule, coordinating closely with production and maintenance to avoid unplanned disruptions.
  • Prepare scope documents, shopping carts, and purchase requests; manage purchase orders, invoice approval, and month end accruals in collaboration with Finance.
  • Interface with UAW leadership and comply with local and national labor agreements when coordinating work that affects represented employees.
  • Serve as group leader for powerhouse operations and operating engineers, ensuring safe, reliable delivery of utilities and strong execution of standard work.
  • Provide day-to-day technical direction and oversight to resident business partners and outside contractors to ensure safe work practices and high-quality execution.
  • Support plant safety initiatives; understand GM's Workplace Safety System Elements & Performance Standards and how this role supports a safe environment through daily work.

Your Skills & Abilities: (Required Qualifications) :
